When I bought the box set of the complete Twilight Zone series the one episode I was eager to watch was He's Alive. I've only seen a few of the hour-long episodes and didn't like this longer format and felt these stories might have been better served in the original length. This was the case with He's Alive. It's an interesting premise but it's not enough to fill that allotted run time and the writing is (as wiry many other episodes) gets very heavy-handed at times. The idea of fascism being an ideology that lives long after those who originated it and can poison the minds of those who share a similar hatred and fear is an interesting set-up for a story. Rod Serling often used this platform to explore themes that might have encountered opposition from the network and sponsors, but he was subversive enough to hide these stories under the guise of science-fiction and fantasy. My favorite is Death's Head Revisited, which can be seen as a companion piece to this episode, but is far more effective. This suffers from some cringeworthy acting, especially by both Dennis Hopper and the actor playing Hitler. When Hopper says "neighbors" it was like hearing Frank Booth speaking decades before he came into being. If there is one subject that might have benefited from the hour-long format it should have been this one. As much as I admire Rod Serling as a man who saw in television a medium that had the potential to address topics to a wide audience, I thought his writing style was very clumsy and preachy, but given such a brief amount of time subtly had to be sacrificed to get the message across. Sadly this is still an issue. Were he still alive he'd be saddened that it had dug deeper roots in the American culture and was thriving and no longer just fringe groups who met in isolation. At the end of Death's Head Revisited a character asks why the death camps remain standing. Serling, in his narration, gives us the sobering message that they need to remain standing as a monument to the period of men's madness and when they turned it into an open grave. Serling was a man who was very concerned about the direction of humanity and tried to write about them. I highly recommend watching Submitted For Your Approval. It's a fascinating profile of Serling, especially the battles he had with networks to get his television plays presented as he had written them and not censored, which often the case.

Serling, one of my favorite writers (and thinkers), was so prescient that his words are now timeless. We need him (his moral clarity) today more than ever. -- He did "many" episodes on the subject of fascism, bigotry, racism, and oppression - which was ahead of its time. The networks wouldn't allow it unless he formatted it in a style that was "entertaining." So, he relayed those messages through everyday fictional stories. The story was secondary. The "message" was his primary goal.
He smoked 3-4 packs per day, and died as a result of a heart attack suffered while he was undergoing open-heart surgery. IIRC, he was 50 years old, not 51.

@TodaysDante sorry to inform you, the USA, a liberal democracy, was founded by left wing radicals. In the 1860s, the radical left wing Republicans took power in the USA again.

Hereafter, no great nation will be unprovided with an ultimate means of protection against the cancerous growth of Bolshevism." ~ Winston Churchill, January 20, 1927, Rome.
I grew up on the Twilight Zone, and I fully understand where Serling and others of his generation were coming from after having experienced the horrors of WWII, but I'd also point out that history tends to run in cycles; the notion that anyone who might object to some minority must by definition be akin to a Nazi overlooks the fact that while the Nazis killed six million in the concentration camps, the Soviets in all likelihood killed over 40 million, the Chinese another 20 million or more...yet we never once hear them taken to task on any level. This is not said to excuse or overlook what the Nazis did, but how is it the case that Germany has been made to pay and pay all the way down to the present day while China is now thoroughly intertwined with our economy? The moral gymnastics required to come to terms with that conundrum are more than my old mind could comprehend; maybe yours can, if you've been sufficiently indoctrinated...

WTF are talking about? Mankind has learnt much since the 60s, fair enough evil creepy peeeeedo Biden took us back a few years, but he’s gone now & Mr Trump is back. 4 more years, happy days.👍
I think I would pick “Judgement Night” as my favorite episode. It’s so hard to really pick one. What a great show. When I was 10 my father and I would watch Friday night. TZ and Candid Camera.
It isn’t called the Golden Age of Television for nothing. Me too, every Friday night. Remember Theedy Sue Hill or Portifoy? Serling was a genius.
Rod Serling was a prophet.
Boom. Mind Blown.
It is astounding how much these words sound like the words of Chump, the GOP, and MAGA. Hate never really changes, does it? eta : BTW, I'm curious as to why you didn't include the "big reveal" of that episode, which was the speaker in the shadows was actually Hilter, but Hilter as an old man? And I always use this spelling of his name for, I think, obvious reasons.
What?!
Sounds like Mad Maxine Waters. Confront them. Confront them everywhere!
Sounds a lot like the peaceful protests.
It is astounding how ignorantly backward your perception is.
Hopefully you can overcome being brainwashed.
@@whereswaldo5740They’re all over the comments, they’ve been brainwashed by the MSM so much that the wouldn’t know the truth if it smacked them in the face.
@@ajvonline Please expound.
I guess Trump and Musk watched this episode and learned the technique.
The entire establishment both side know this technique. And both sides use it in abundance.
@@stephenlandry9343 Really? To me only one side says there isn't enough patriotism, and too many minorities, and not enough hate and prejudice.....
@@onegathers You watch too much CNN
The only party obsessed with race are the Democrats.
@@stephenlandry9343 Lets not both sides this BS. There is only one side filled with hate and retribution, and that begins and ends with the maga cult.
"BINGO"!🎯👍👏
I figured this one out very quickly.
We didn't get the reveal of the guy speaking in shadow here - although it's obvious who he has to be.
I think he is revealed as Hitler full episode
Yes it is Hitler.
Watch the body language. Fills you in without telling you.
Stupid is as Stupid does! Sports Fans! If we spend all our time wrapped up with sports, how come tax players don't own any teams????
36 Trillion and we own nothing! 😮
WOW!! Right on!!
Watch Pressure Point 1962 with Sidney Pointer and Bobby Darrin
Great flick.
: "I love the uneducated" D T
Ah, go cry about it. Trump rocks, 4 more years of your tears. Happy Days.😅
That closing narration was from the episode "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street".
He was a genius.
Hopper even looks like young Donald in his cadet uniform.
The useless fake Democrat party hate speech in action
No he doesn’t look anything like him, that’s all in your head. Tell me, is this Mr Trump in the room with you now? Are you a white dude for Harris? And do you think Joe Biden has dementia?
Spot on
I always thought the episode, "He's Alive," was a little "on the nose." You knew what was going to happen as soon as the shadowy character was introduced. Serlings' intentions were good, but this was not a well-written episode.
There is a last ditch effort underway to prevent Trump from assuming the US presidency. Please, everyone reading this comment, contact your congressional representatives and urge them to do their job and uphold the constitution which (according to amendment 14, section 3) expressly prohibits insurrectionists from holding the presidential office.
This episode describes the left more than the right. It assumes that the anger is fictional. But when the government purposely disobeys the law to flood the country with unvetted people from all over the world, that anger is justified.
Trump was never charged with insurrection, nor were any of the protestors.
@@TodaysDantePredictable comment, perfectly in line with this video.
@TodaysDante sorry to inform you, the USA, a liberal democracy, was founded by left wing radicals.
In the 1860s, the radical left wing Republicans took power in the USA again. And the right wing, fought a war about it.
In the 1930s, a major right wing swing in Germany took over Europe.
Please learn history. Fascism is and has always been a right wing ideology.
@@bjb7587 - In the end, fascism is a complete gov takeover of the people, the laws, and the economy. The outgoing admin is doing that, with executive order rule and gov expansion over our everyday life. The incoming one seeks to stop it.
You voted for him.
Sounds like a MAGA rally.
Democrat party bully party meeting
No it doesn’t sound anything like Trump rally, have you ever watched a Trump rally? I’ve watched Trump rallies & everyone is so happy & friendly. Please don’t let your metal illness brainwashing push lies & hate on people you’ve never met, that’s what happened in Germany in the 1930s, you’re better than that.👍
45 and 47.
nah, 44 Hope 'n Change, separating us instead of keeping the promise to bring us together.
@@richardkluesek4301 I don't agree with your premise, but even if it was true, that ain't fascism. Threatening your political enemies with retribution using the power of the federal government, *that* is fascism.
@@bjb7587 Over the last 10 years what has been done to Trump ? What has he done to anyone ? He was fully empowered as POTUS already for 4 years and could have wrought havoc on others. Those fearing Trump's revenge took inspiration from deep deranged hate on the dark side. I have no interest about what happens to them or not, I'm looking forward to a prosperous future.
@@bjb7587Democrat party sham trals
Holy moly
Dennis Hopper before he made Easy Rider.
Welcome to the nightmare - now with Mr. T. as der fuehrer
Gotta love Rod!
The Dictator Tot would ban this for the public but use all talking points.
Na, he wouldn’t, because he doesn’t need to, he just won the election in a massive landslide instead. You really should go have a big cry about it & when you’re finished, go cry some more.😅😂🤣
Then later Dennis became a hippie..
...who hated buses🚌 and slow traffic🛑!!!
Yeah for a movie
@@tomryan914do you like busses and slow traffic 🤔 or is that a socialtal problem we all don't care for 🤷
Reading comments it's only a show 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Holy crap!
Dennis Hopper
Sounds just like trump!!!!
Democrat bully party production's Inc who waste money
Mein Gott im Himmel, ihr Leute seid lustig!
Isnt Facism about trying to legislate culture?
Sounds like the democrat party.
…..holy shit
Echos of the distant past?
Yes. The disease is here now.
"If I had been an Italian, I am sure that I should have been wholeheartedly with you from the start to the finish in your triumphant struggle against the bestial appetites and passions of Leninism. I will, however, say a word on an international aspect of fascism. Externally, your movement has rendered service to the whole world. Italy has shown that there is a way of fighting the subversive forces which can rally the masses of the people, properly led, to value and wish to defend the honor and stability of civilized society. Hereafter, no great nation will be unprovided with an ultimate means of protection against the cancerous growth of Bolshevism." ~ Winston Churchill, January 20, 1927, Rome.
This was a much needed reminder during the Biden administration and what we have seen happening across the West, especially in the UK and Canada.
Take another drink, only party taking rights away are the actual fascist traitors of the Republican party.
Be it MAGA or DEI, I find the lack of independent thinking and civil dialogue to be destructive.
The sad truth is, this belief started here in America.
Please enlighten us that Socialism was created in America...
Please enlighten us as to facts that Socialist was created in America. Perhaps a Google search on the creation of Socialism will assist everyone.
@bhartley868 Not Socialism, but Social Darwinism. Facisim did originate in this country, and was, unfortunately, exported along with other ideas.
Appealing to hated, fear, and envy is not a new idea. It long precedes America.
@bjb7587 True.
But who are the real fascists? Think about that one.
The Red hats help Identify Them
@@nealdraper3751 No
I grew up on the Twilight Zone, and I fully understand where Serling and others of his generation were coming from after having experienced the horrors of WWII, but I'd also point out that history tends to run in cycles; the notion that anyone who might object to some minority must by definition be akin to a Nazi overlooks the fact that while the Nazis killed six million in the concentration camps, the Soviets in all likelihood killed over 40 million, the Chinese another 20 million or more...yet we never once hear them taken to task on any level. This is not said to excuse or overlook what the Nazis did, but how is it the case that Germany has been made to pay and pay all the way down to the present day while China is now thoroughly intertwined with our economy? The moral gymnastics required to come to terms with that conundrum are more than my old mind could comprehend; maybe yours can, if you've been sufficiently indoctrinated...
Whataboutism AND apologetics?! Amazing!
Er -- explain to us how we should go about punishing China....
"Whataboutism," BTW, is valid if the points are valid.
I grew up IN the twilight zone and never left apparently. Damn.
Wow!
Trump😅😅🤣
He’s talking about Maxine Waters Nancy Chuck Hocul and BLM right?
It almost happened but we voted the tyrants out.🎉

Well… how about that.🤦♂️
Trump, probably saw this episode and it inspired him.
